Suicide of Judas and Crucifixion of Christ, plaque from a box
a. How has the iconography been adapted to fit the new religion?
b. How has the iconography shifted?
Answers will vary.
a. This is the earliest known version of the Crucifixion; however the presentation of Christ is still as a beardless youth. The image reverberates with the idea of salvation and redemption--a message that would have been clearly understood from this image at the time.
b. The rendering has not documented the pain or suffering of the figure, but the artist has chosen to present Christ as a divine being who has conquered death (the open eyes). In contrast to this figure is the presentation of Judas suffering his awful fate, the limp body hanging in space.
